Volcanoes & Earthquakes shows the latest world-wide earthquakes (or only quakes near you), as well as earthquake "I-felt-it" reports, in near real-time and active volcanoes on a map and as list, as well as volcano news from all the world.
You can filter the data shown in various ways, e.g. by magnitude or age of earthquakes, the distance from your location, the status of volcanoes and so on.

I do like it, BUT But, it is way out of date on its data... when I clicked on a volcano that is supposedly erupting currently, the data info was from 2014... come on now! Keep your data updated! What good is it if you are giving old information?
Omg is a good idea to advertise the best way The app is going well as the first time in the world of the most important thing is that the information you need to be a good idea to advertise the best way to get the latest version of the most popular and I am looking for a while to reply to you by email or telephone and email address to receive our newsletter and get a chance to win a free email service and the other day and night and then the next few days ago by the way to get the latest version of your choice of seats and the other day and the family and friends!

update The update didn't work and would not reload. I reinstalled it and it still didn't work I say your app is a negative 10 not a 5 Star
Iceland volcanos Why dont you but iceland on this earthquake volcano named katla most active and dangerous volcano in iceland is probably going to explode
No longer works Been using this for months, even upgraded to pro, now it no longer opens, even with a new rom install still same problem. CM12.1
Great App I've used numerous earthquake apps over the years and this one is the best so far. Love the volcano info section. Great layout and intuitive design. Nice work.
The News Feature is Great! I've tried several Earthquake and Volcano apps. This one is the best for me. And I really appreciate the News feature.
Good but incomplete data Where is the earthquake that occurred in north india yesterday?
Nice!! It show an accurate event. Love to share with friends♡♥♡♥♡

Thanks a lot!
Good. Notifications sometimes fail to work but otherwise fine.
Best app for adjusting my earthquake alarm I live in Los Angeles and earthquakes belong to our daily life. We have the QuakeAlarm device installed detecting the P-Wave of earthquakes. If the alarm starts, the app tells me the cause a couple of minutes later. This is the best help to adjust the sensitivity of the device. I don't have much problems with the app and if so, the next update comes soon. I like the idea with customized regions other than the current location. 5 stars because it meets my expectations and its more worth than the money spent
Buggy It was working great and then became buggy over the last few days. "I felt it reports" are not loading but instead error. Please fix this or I'll take it off my phone.
01Jun16...still not working! What happened?? Your latest update (16May) and now it's all buggy! Used to work perfectly, not anymore. "Show on map" doesn't work, A-Z doesn't either! Please fix! Update 01Jun, "News" not working. Will not load!
VolcanoDiscovery June 13, 2016
It should all work now - the problems you mentioned were not of the app itself, but due to upgrade work on the backend server providing the data (temporarily it could not deliver the reports to the app, for example)...
Fantastic app! Actively maintained and improved. Keep up the good work! A couple of suggestions: 1) Make links larger so they are easier to tap; especially on the earthquake list tab. 2) Make it such that a map of the location and the magnitude show when the event is shared.

Hello - many thanks: I'll keep this in mind for future improvement.
HTC One M9 marshmallow 6.0 Works love it was using another asked them about adding volcano reports but said that they don't do it. Then saw this and was surprised. It's very good information love it.
Days and earthquakes what happen It was Monday and it said Tuesday fix it also in the earthquakes it won't tell you if there was an earthquake fix it😡 also and the earthquake alert ,?

Hello Ashley, the times / dates are in UTC (universal time), but in brackets you can see the time in your local time as well - depending on where you are and in which time zone, the UTC date could be a different day / hour compared to local time.
I love this App it tell's me when there is a Volcano Eruption an a Earthquake has happen. I have been using this app for a while an I really do like this app a lot.

Thank you!
Missing the yellowstone national park The gov dont want to know how much damage the yellowstone national park super volcano can do
VolcanoDiscovery June 16, 2016
Yellowstone is on the map, but only in level "normal" (green), as is the official alert level from the USGS volcano observatory. According to their very detailed monitoring data, there is no reason to believe it should be otherwise (despite what some media or conspiration theorists want to believe).
Volcano's and earthquakes Awesome App. Love it, but is it possible to combine the two apps, Free & Upgrade into one App.
VolcanoDiscovery July 19, 2016
Thanks! For the time being, it's not planned to develop two apps in parallel because it is too prone to introduce errors and too difficult to maintain. The upgrade app is nothing but an additional key to unlock features and hardly consumes any space and doesn't need to run or do anything but being there.
The Earth, Moves, Under Our Feet Our planet is a feisty, active geologic place. Through this app, the Earth talks to you. Ads are unobtrusive and I love the notifications and quick access to more information. Nicely done, smart team.
VolcanoDiscovery July 19, 2016
Thanks a lot!
Map Showing activities on the map is what I was looking for but this app has other nice tools. News part is interesting. Good work.
VolcanoDiscovery May 24, 2016
Thank you!
Fast and accurate Latest update includes fast notifications for earthquakes and volcanoes, reduced bandwith and battery use. Simple to use.
VolcanoDiscovery July 19, 2016
Many thanks!
VolcanoDiscovery May 18, 2016
I'm sorry to hear about the problem - do you receive any error messages? Did you try uninstall and reinstall ? If the problem persists, you could send us an email and we'll try to look into this together.
Great... but Stopped updating a couple of weeks ago... help!
VolcanoDiscovery June 13, 2016
That's strange! Did you check how you set your filters (if they are very restrictive, perhaps there are actually no quakes in your area). Otherwise, you may hit the "reload" button, enable notifications or background update and there should be fresh stuff showing up... If you still don't get updates, please send a screenshot or an email, perhaps.
Outstanding I love the volcanoes erupting worldwide map.
VolcanoDiscovery June 13, 2016
Thanks!
Very informative Up to the minute notifications. Nice graphics.
VolcanoDiscovery July 19, 2016
